The Braun ThermoScan Instant Thermometer |
safeguards |
is a sophisticated electronic instrument that |
|
has been carefully engineered for both |
|
accuracy and safety. The shape of the |
|
thermometer prevents it from being inserted |
|
far enough into the ear canal to damage the |
|
eardrum. However, basic safety precautions |
|
should always be observed, especially when |
|
using the thermometer on or near children. |
Please read all |
To use this instrument safely: |
instructions |
|
carefully before |
• This product is designed to measure human |
using this product |
body temperature by detecting heat from |
|
the eardrum and surrounding tissue. Do |
|
not use the instrument for any other |
|
purpose. Do not use any other type of |
|
thermometer in the ear. |
|
• Close supervision is necessary when using |
|
this thermometer on, near or by children or |
|
disabled persons. |
|
• Keep lens filters out of reach of children. |
To ensure long life and accurate operation of this precision instrument:
•This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun ThermoScan Lens Filters.
(LF 40).
•Do not use this thermometer without a new lens filter attached. After each use, discard it and replace with a new one. (See Care and Cleaning, page 17).
•If the thermometer is ever accidentally used without a lens filter attached, clean the lens. (See Care and Cleaning, page 17).
•Never submerge the Braun ThermoScan Instant Thermometer in water or any other liquid.
•When not in use, place the storage cover over the thermometer with a lens filter attached to protect it from damage and dirt.
•Store unit and lens filters in a dry location free from dust and contamination where the temperature remains fairly constant and within the range of 16°C to 40°C (61°F to
104°F).
•Store lens filters away from direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting.
•Do not drop, mishandle, or expose to temperature or humidity extremes [outside the range of –20°C to 50°C (–4°F to 122°F), 15 - 95 % RH non-condensing.]
Do not use if the thermometer malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
•There are no user-serviceable or replaceable parts exept the 9 volt battery and lens filters. Refer to page 74 for service information.
•This product is intended for household use only. Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician.
For best results, use a 9 volt alkaline battery.
•Do not dispose of empty batteries in household waste. Take them to special local collection sites.
